Evidence summaries
Make a systematic review summary video
Create a systematic review summary video by supplying the review question, study-selection account, synthesis and author-approved conclusions. AutoScribble helps arrange that information into an editable whiteboard script. Explain how the review assembled its evidence before presenting the takeaway, and preserve the limitations that affect how the audience should understand the combined findings in context.
Audience: Review authors and evidence teaching teams
Edit your script before generating the video.
Editable starter prompt
Write a 120-second, 16:9 whiteboard summary of our systematic review for [audience]. Use the supplied review question, study-selection description, synthesis and conclusions. Explain how the evidence was gathered before presenting the main takeaway. Preserve distinctions between the review’s conclusions and individual study findings, and retain the stated uncertainty or variation. Do not invent search dates, study counts, pooled values or quality judgements. Suggest conceptual scenes rather than fabricated evidence plots. End with the authors’ conclusion, its main limitation and the supplied route to the full review. [Paste your source material here]
A review video should make the evidence-gathering process visible without becoming a spoken methods appendix. Decide what the audience needs to know about the scope and included studies to understand the conclusion. Keep the review’s own claims distinct from findings of an individual study, especially when the source describes differences between studies or uncertainty in the synthesis.
Prepare the review question and selection story
Write the question, the boundaries of the search or inclusion criteria relevant to your audience, and how the selected studies relate to the question. Supply any counts you want mentioned rather than asking the script to infer them. Describe a selection diagram in words if it matters to the overview, keeping exclusions and inclusion stages clearly distinguished.
Explain the synthesis at the right level
State whether your source presents a narrative synthesis, pooled analysis or another defined approach. Describe the result using the authors’ wording and retain important variation between studies. Avoid making a collection of studies sound like a single experiment with one uniform population. Use scenes to organise the explanation, while keeping original tables or plots available separately where needed.
Connect the conclusion to the evidence limits
Give the audience the qualification that matters most to interpreting the review. This could concern the available studies, their differences or a limitation already described by the authors. Finish with what the review concludes and the question that remains open. A two-minute landscape draft can introduce the evidence story and direct viewers to the full review for detail.
Illustrative storyboard
A possible scene sequence
A review summary following the path from question to qualified conclusion.
- Scene 1
Visual
The review question appears within its stated scope.
Narration
The review brings evidence together around this question.
- Scene 2
Visual
A selection sequence uses the supplied stage labels.
Narration
These stages describe how the included evidence was selected.
- Scene 3
Visual
Several study cards connect to the stated synthesis.
Narration
The review brings these findings together using this approach.
- Scene 4
Visual
A conclusion card is paired with the main limitation.
Narration
Read the takeaway alongside the limits described by the authors.

Questions
- Should I include every search and selection detail?
- Include what the audience needs to interpret the review. Keep the complete methods available in the source, and select only the stages relevant to this short explanation.
- Can I describe a meta-analysis in the video?
- Yes, using the authors’ supplied explanation and values. Preserve uncertainty and context, and keep original plots available rather than asking the animation to manufacture them.
- What if the included studies disagree?
- Describe that variation as the review does. The script should explain the synthesis and its limits, not remove disagreement to create a simpler or more decisive story.
